Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency routing and record sheet, dated June 3, 1976, carries a note to the Deputy Chief of OD&E about a shared personal interest in UFO phenomena. The writer says DCD had been receiving UFO related material from Agency S&T sources. It describes these sources as credible scientists, not the "nut" variety. The attached material is forwarded as having possible FI or community interest. The note suggests that one doctor's work be evaluated and offers further discussion, or else destruction of the material.

SUBJECT: [Optional] TO: (Officer designation, room number, and building) DATE OFFICER'S INITIALS COMMENTS (Number each comment to show from whom to whom. Draw a line across column after each comment.) RECEIVED FORWARDED 1. Deputy Chief, OD&E Attn: Mr. Mr. 2. At a recent meeting to evaluate some material from you mentioned a personal interest in the UFO phenomena. As you may recall, I mentioned my own interest in the subject as well as the fact that DCD had been receiving UFO related material from many of our S&T sources who are presently conducting related research. These scientists include some who have been associated with the Agency for years and whose credentials remove them from the "nut" variety. The attached material came to my attention through these sources and it appears to have some legitimate FI or community interest potential. The work being carried out by Dr. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 12. should, in the view of our S&T sources, be evaluated by the Agency or community. 11. In view of the expertise associated with your office, as well as your interest in the subject, I felt you might like to see the material. [If you need additional information or if you feel there is some potential, I would be glad to disc this with you. If not, please free to destroy the material.] 12. 13. 14. 15.
